Ability to Turn Public Conversation into Private Conversation

I don't understand the reason that conversations are public by default between drivers and potential passengers. There should at least be a way to disable this manually on a case-by-case basis. For example, I have a passenger who is currently requesting to be picked up at her home address, and I cannot tell her whether or not that would be possible before I know how big of a detour it would be. Her options are to post her home address publicly or to book before she knows whether or not I can do what she needs me to do. If she books so she can message me privately, and I end up realizing that I cannot pick her up at her home, she would end up losing the non-refundable 15% booking fee.

The reason that the messages prior to booking are made public is because the answers might be relevant to other members of Poparide.

We might revise this in the future, but for now, please refrain from sharing an exact address prior to booking, and we generally recommend picking up passengers from a central point and not from their home, as to avoid any extra driving and delays for other passengers.
